Day 6 Sleep Restriction Therapy

God I am brave. So, last night I turned off screens 1 hour before bed and drank cherry juice. I fell asleep in under 45 minutes. My sleep efficiency is pretty poor so I think I’ll get up at 5:45 (setting a 5:30 alarm to take the caffeine pill) to be even more hardcore and eventually increase my sleep efficiency. I will also start setting 40 minute alarms, as I no longer want my brain to associate spending time in bed with wakefulness. I am done with that. Today, I am tired but wired but still am in a good mood and have enough energy to get on with the day. Luckily, I’m sick atm so can’t workout. By tomorrow I should be better and then my sleep will be better tonight so by tomorrow I can pair sleep restriction therapy, stimulus control, and exercise for a dangerous combination. Keep being disciplined and brave, you can do this!
